mPnovs-MENTIN 'rm-Por HANDLE'.

The Schedule .refexred'to inthese Lenox-:Patent and making part of the unie .1., Luces 0. CLARK, of Huntsville, in' thel 'county of- Hnrtiford'and State .of Connecticut, have invented certain new. and 'useful Improvements in Ten-pot' Handles, of which the 'following is specification.-

w AThe object of my invention Iis to provide n cheap Lend reliable connection for securing handles to' tenpots :ind similar vessels, as hereafter more fully des scribed.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure lisan elevationof nfhnndle o f my invention,showing the parts by whichit is to he secured to the-vesseh and .Figure 2 is a; side elevation of the sume, part-ly in section. l A designates a, enst-metal handle of any Vpleasing design, and which is provided with two pluin surfaces, qu, slightly projecting fromthe handle.v

B B designate connect-ions of 'cup -shaped form," which are swaged or struck up from sheet metal.

The bottom or hack lsides of the connections B B Ahave n plain surface of seize corresponding with the 'plain surfaces a a..

'A rivet, c, is passedthrough' the hondle A at eachv end, und projects front the center of the plain surfaces aa.

Thecup-slmped connection Bis then'plncegl on the surface (L -with the rivet c passing through the bottom of B, when a. washer, d, is placed on the end of rivet the connection B irm'l'yto the handle A. y s

. The handle isdesigned to he secured tov the vessel -by soldering the connections B B. thereto.

- If very thickmetal isemplcyed for the construc- Ition of the' connectlousl'B B, the washer d indy be dispensed with. The rivet c may be oust into the handle,

-or inserted through' a, drilled hole, or, if the metal composingA the handle is sufficiently melleable, a. tenen or project-ion may be cns't upon the boudin-ns; n. sul

st itute for the rivet.

, In ordinary castlnetal lten-p0t handles the-connections consist of sheetsmetal-,1ubes,.one..endiof which .tubes are slipped upon'projections on `the handle, and

'secured'thereto by solder. This necessitates the labor of removing the scale of the iron fronrthe projections previous to soldering.

By use it is found that the solid. costriroli` handle I Aand sheet-metal tubes thus soldered together' are more -liohletoxunsqlder than are the tubes and-the vessel to'which they are secured.

Bymy invention the 'connectionsare secured to the handleiby less lnborLa-ndtherefore at' a; reduced cost as compared with the ordintuy handle.' -'J.he 'connections. are also secured in. such m'anner 'as [to .prevent any occidental disconnection of the handle and connections by unsoldering,'or otherwise-'thus producing,

n. better article at a less cost.

I claim as my inventionscribedhnndle for talpots' and .similar vessels, conl sistingof lthe czist-rnet'al hndle'nnd the swag'ed or Witnesses;
